From "The interior of things":
"Everything transpires as if the being of beings were a sort of origami.
 There are only folds: plaits, pleats, creases, waves, crevices, knots, 
and caves. And within each of those folds? Other fold! There are only 
folds coiled within folds radiating to infinity in both time and space. 
And if this is not enough, these folds are not fixed-crease folds, but 
rather are mobile folds. The wave is a better image of the fold than the
 envelope. A wave is a fold that perpetually folds itself, that 
traverses a field and that maintains its identity through the repetition
 of a process that is the unity of both difference and sameness. The 
folds of being are not fixed creases, but rather being never ceases to 
everywhere fold and unfold itself. Being is everywhere an undulation of 
folds and of undulating folds. Folds envelop one another, enfolding 
other folds within them. On other occasions and in other places, planes 
or fields undergo processes of invagination through which the surface 
becomes textured and riddled with crevices forming something akin to 
caves. On yet other occasions, that which is folded unfolds. In 
unfolding, that which is folded does not become a smooth or flat 
surface. This, of course, sometimes happens as well, though perhaps the 
flat surface or plane is the most folded being of all. More often, 
however, that which unfolds configures itself as a new formation of 
folds like a blooming flower."
